Question

The radius, R, of a sphere is 5.1 m. Calculate the sphere’s volume, V. Use the value 3.14 for n, and round your answer to the nearest tenth. ( do not round any intermediate computations.)

Answer 1

Given the radius of a sphere, we can calculate the volume by using the formula:

`V=(4)/(3)\pi R^3`

Where R is the radius of the sphere.

In this case, the radius is R = 5.1m, and we are instructed to use π = 3.14

Thus:

`V=(4)/(3)\cdot3.14\cdot5.1^3=(4)/(3)\cdot3.14\cdot132.650=555.36552`

To the nearest tenth, the volume of the sphere is:

`V=555.4\text{ }m^3`
